India’s efforts to secure its borders with China and Pakistan, alongside its push for self-reliance, have taken a significant step forward with the first successful flight of the Sheshnag-150, a 150kg long-range precision strike UAV developed by Bengaluru-based NewSpace Research and Technologies (NRT).
The Sheshnag-150, with an endurance of five hours and a payload capacity of 25–40kg, flew for two hours during its maiden flight.
